New Zealand Invertebrates

11005-29015 Superb ground weta (Hemiandrus superbus) female. This giant species is only known from one location in Fiordland. Ground weta usually only emerge from burrows on dark, warm, humid nights to forage on fruits and invertebrates. Studies in Fiordland have shown ground weta to be the most vulnerable invertebrate to stoat predation. Sinbad Gully Head Basin *
